Way to go @dam! With your qualifications I'm sure it won't be too hard getting a job when you return home. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity so i'm glad that you've seized it. Sometimes its hard for people to get out of that 'comfort zone' . hope you have a fantastic trip and let us know your trip plans!

Hey all,
I quit my job. Today was my last day. I'm headed to South America for 5 months. Woohooo!
On July 11th I'm flying into Quito, Ecuador and I have until Dec. 11th to make it to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Ill be back for X-Mas and then if I'm not worn out I'll continue in SE Asia at the beginning of 2008.
Super Excited,
Andy

Quit your job
my advice is simple quit your job and go. What do you expect from a travel website? The fact that you posted your question here should be your answer. Have a good trip! i hope!
